HERE'S TO THE CRAZY ONES

They're not fond of rules.And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them,glorify or vilify them.About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things.They push the human race forward.

While some may see them as the crazy ones,we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to thinkthey can change the world, are the ones who do.”﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿

—From the Think Different campaign by Apple (1997)

THAT DOESN'T SOUND SO BAD NOW, DOES IT?

So… you might be crazy, but you can change the world!

And you’re not alone.I, for one, am crazy too. *Smirk*And there have been, are and always will be a lot more crazy ones.

Just to name a few:

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Or someone we unfortunately lost recently (may he rest in pease):

THOSE ARE QUITE THE ROLE MODELS, RIGHT?

And they can be a great source of inspiration to us —you and me.

That’s why I designed a poster —a poster to give myself a mental boost to keep me going.Every time I feel low, forgot why I'm doing this or just can’t seem to find my way— I just look up, see my role model and remember that it’s all worth it. And I feel inspired again.

WHO IS YOUR BIGGEST ROLE MODEL...

...and source of inspiration?

I’d like to celebrate that you’re also a crazy one (like me) and help you to keep going when things get difficult for you. I’ll design a poster with your personal role model on it. As a gift from me to you.

All you need to do is answer the question in the comments below and I’ll send you your personal poster by email. Then you can print it yourself (or have it printed for you) and hang it on your own wall to keep you motivated.

[Update] Gifts for three of your fellow crazy ones:

— Richard Branson, Naomi Klein and Steve Jobs

And finally, let me end with this:

So, you’re different.Embrace it!

Dare to be different!

That’s what will make you stand out. That’s what will attract the right clients. That’s what will make your business grow. That’s what will enable you to make a difference.

Now, get out there and go make your mark!

With pleasure,
